About Me:
I am an historian and curator of all things Australian social history. I specialise in the use of new media for interpretation and am excited to be pursuing this as a career.

Hey Megan,

All the best to your internship search in the US. Like you were before you graduated (congrats!), I am currently a Masters student at University of Melbourne, reading Arts Management. It would be interesting to look at your research areas in Web 2.0 which is a pet topic of mine too. :)

Hey Megan,
Thanks for the reference for my paper. I ended up using you as a main source on technology and museums. My paper came out great (I think...) and I'm awaiting my final grades. Again, thanks! Your paper was so interesting.
